HC Deb 05 December 1946 vol 431 c509
63. Mr. Keeling

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that posters have been sent to the Crimony Company, exporter of almond products, urging its workers to extra effort and increased output, at the same time that the firm has been refused supplies of almonds for goods for export, had its allocation of coal cut from nine to five tons per week, and been informed that it is to receive no coal at all until mid-December and whether he will either limit the issue of such posters to cases where they are appropriate, or ask firms to return them if their exhibition would cause resentment.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Glenvil Hall)

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Keeling

Does that answer apply to all the questions?

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Yes, Sir. The hon Gentleman asked a number of questions; I have sorted them out, and the answer to them all is "Yes, Sir."
